Beautiful peice, did you buy that as a larger peice or was from a small frag?

That's pretty cool. What a great way to build a coral farm.

I'll take some pics tonight and post them tonight or tomorrow.

I know they had a real problem with algae for a while but everything has been looking pretty good lately. I go in at least 2-3 times a month and they have had some really nice peices over the last month or so. I paid $45 for the golden eye and $60 for the war chalice. A friend of mine went in...

Thanks for the info I'll try the settings with my crappy kodak and see if I get better pics.

Do you use a macro setting for the pics? I've been reading other posts and it seems like that is a popular setting. Also, how far away from the tank do you take the pics? Are you right up on the glass or a few feet away? Thanks for the info.

I just went to the hidden reef yesterday to pick up some buffer and salt and ended up spending about $250 as I always seem to do. That place is dangerous! They had some really nice chalice frags. I picked up a golden eye chalice and a war chalice. They also had several blue xenias the nice small...

I've been thinking about getting an underwater camera. Olympus makes one for around $300. Does anyone know how the quality of theses cameras are and if they're worth it? I want to get one mainly for tank pics but I like to go scuba diving and I thought it would be cool to use for that.

NICE!! What kind of camera do you use for your pics? I have a kodak digital (a cheap one) and it does not take very good pics. I have a really hard time getting it to focus. My cellphone camera takes better pics. Do you use a tripod to stabilize or just rest on something? I've been trying to get...

you should be looking for something around 5-8 watts per gallon for the halide lights. for a 10 gallon tank you can get a 70 halide pendent kit (I think Icecap makes a nice set). You can use the T5s but you just won't see the colors you will with the Halide (in my opinion anyway, I know others...

thanks, I'll give it a try.

Does anyone add the kalk directly to their top off water? A friend of mine does this and he has never had any problems but I'm unsure if this is a good idea. I travel a lot for work and its difficult to get the wife to dose properly for me so I'm just looking for a method for making it easier...

The ice cap guys are great. I have 6 400w DE MH pendant kits from them and I broke one of the bulb holders while installing new bulbs. I called to purchase a new one to replace the old one and they just gave me it for free. They even told me to bring it in if I had trouble installing it and they...
